How we handle bath repair in Becontree
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chip where the taps sit and deep scratches in acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Becontree
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Becontree, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Becontree questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover Becontree?
We do. We send a technician to Becontree for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repair or replace in Becontree?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
What we are called out for in Becontree
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
